The series has been confirmed to be a new Wednesday-Thursday drama on JTBC!

Frankly Speaking is a childish and cheeky life-changing drama that follows announcer Song Ki-baek, who becomes the Hulk with an uncontrollable tongue. He meets passionate entertainment writer On Woo-joo and life changes for both of them.

First, Go Kyung Pyo plays the role of Ultra FM announcer ‘Song Ki-baek’. As a result of his determination for 8 years, his hashtags include #brainman, #goldenspoon and #highspecs. To top it off, he has a workplace management skills of not saying ‘no’ in any situation. He is on the verge of being selected as the main news anchor. However, he lost control of his tongue due to an accident. Not only is he unable to lie, but he has become a ‘fact bomber’ who often blurts out his true feelings beyond honesty.

Go Kyung Pyo, who jumped into a life full of crazy and bubbly spirit, sheds his straight-laced ‘tough son’ image and becomes hilariously funny.

Kang Han Na takes on the role of On-Woo-joo, an entertainment writer who relies on viewership ratings. Woo-joo is a person who has held the position of an entertainment writer such as for 12 years with the ‘too much’ positivity attitude that never says that nothing in the world is okay and the passion that everything is possible if you work hard.

She then stumbled on the entertainment value Song Ki-baek would bring. The point of expectation is whether Woo Joo will be able to bring his spirit back to life.

Lastly, Joo Jong Hyuk plays Trot singer Kim Jung-hun. Jung-hun is the ‘nation’s son-in-law’ with the highest rating in the entertainment industry. He debuted as an idol at the age of 20, but after failing spectacularly, he moved around in broadcasting circles and came in second place on a trot audition program, stealing the hearts of mothers across the country. His broadcasting goal is to work with his former lover, Woo-joo, and his chance finally comes, revealing the feelings he has been harboring for a long time.

For this work, Joo Jong Hyuk devoted himself to practicing singing and choreography like a singer preparing for a real audition. Frankly Speaking is a great opportunity to see not only his acting, but also his singing and entertainment talents.

Frankly Speaking takes the midweek slot vacated by Queen of Divorce.
